Thats the way the world works. **Nuclear power plants blow up** , power plants producing co2 and “greenhouse” gases influence global warming and depletion of ozone, drill rigs break and dump millions of gallons of oil, coal mines drain acid into water ways, marcellus shale drilling can contamidate water ways as well fucking everything up.

Well…this won’t even be around much longer for us to argue over it…
Why is there such interest in drilling all of a sudden? The shale has been there forever and the gas companies have known about it for quite a while? The answer: The price of gas went up to the point where it became economically feasable to drill.
Leave it to Rendell and the Democrats in Harrisburg thet you people elected into office…they are now proposing a GAS EXTRACTION TAX on Marcellus Shale drilling. This will probably make drilling economically un-feasable once again and all the gas companies will just pack up and go away.

Oh excuse me for using the wrong terminology…but it is what it is…meltdown is a blow up in my opinion…still a fucked up situation that causes major damage anyway you put it.

Sarcasm is full of this thread.
Mike you are NOVICE. not knocking you. go visit the folks on the drilling field. Spend time with these folks 24 hrs report back.
ask them all the questions. I know for a fact you never spent time with these folks. GO DO SOME FIELD WORK ! report hands on what these labors do to convince people.
I know how this operates. Infact i probably know more then you desk jockey. provide me with proof to prove other wise. been on these actual drilling sites numerous times with plain clothing and non HARD HAT, that hard core osha would love me.

All I can say is LOL. Misinformation and tunnel vision is strong in this thread. Of course there is waste but in all reality, it isn’t a real “problem” at this time because the volume is actually very low considering the amount of energy generated. Research before spouting off about something you know little or nothing about.

DOesnt matter how much there is…its highly radioactive and stays that way for many many years…the idea of storing it in a “mountain bunker” or similar just seems like a bad idea to me and others have agreed.
> Permanent storage underground in U.S. had been proposed at the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository, but that project has now been effectively cancelled - the permanent disposal of the U.S.'s high-level waste is an as-yet unresolved political problem.
Who knows what other countries are doing.
So yeah it is a problem. Not on a volume level since like you say, not much waste is actually produced. Its just radioactive and its a long term problem.

Honestly, I can’t understand how Rendell even got elected…who the fuck votes for someone who has never seen a tax he didn’t like?
Democrats always seem to find a way to kill any type of economic activity.
Keep votin’ them in people…

As far as drilling, of course I am a novice. I’m not a tool pusher, I’m in land acquisitions. But I know enough to know what I’m talking about, and I’ve been on plenty of drill sites. My best friend owns a drilling company… :hsugh:

I will agree that LONG term, a solution needs to be found but if you realized how much waste was generated from actually creating power and the fact that arms grade is being converted for fuel use, you’d change your tune quickly. The problem with Yucca Mountain is, they wanted to put EVERYTHING in there. Weapons grade, other countries materials, etc. When you ONLY consider the fuel used for power generation, the amount is so small it’s negligible considering the cleanliness and amount of power made from it.
